"When he was young, Todd's mom, a teacher, shared her love and enthusiasm for books with him and the children in their neighborhood. When she died, adult Todd got an idea. 'He cut up an old door and hammered the pieces together to make a tiny one-room schoolhouse. He stacked books inside… and placed the little library on his lawn. Now he could share his mother's love of reading with anyone who passed by.'" -School Library Journal (Grades 1-4)
